you can take it to a shop that does dyno tunes or just buy the HP tuning stuff. Dejone has can tunes or you can just go thought Hahn for there PPC tuner, Which i hurd they were pushing 26 psi

^^not so much. A tune on a stock ss/tc can take it up to right around 305whp. With those mods you'd have even more. Another option is superchips, I've got it and it's great. A guy on another forum got 288whp and like 307wtq with just superchips and hahn intake and cat delete. Not to mention it was 95 degrees. So on a cooler day I'd say he would be real close to 300whp. It's very simple to use and you can flash back to stock in like three minutes.

Agreed, get the tune, I have tuned stock SS/TC's and the difference is huge!!! You also have to remember that the computer will compensate for all your bolt on mods, by learning down, which is you bolt on more parts for more power, the vcm then pulls boost, timing etc to maintain the 260/260 rating. It is called torque management.

Yes your right about the tune. Wow what a difference. But when you get a tune. you should get one for the summer and one for the winter.
